Fan of Printing
I'm wrestling with printing, and came across a reference within Uwe Steinmueller's book, "Fine Art Printing for Photographers".
On the associated website, Jack Flesher provides an essay on evaluating a test print. BTW, with his last name, it should be pretty good. I've joined the whiners that getting flesh tones to be satisfactory is tough.
What sets this test print apart from others I've noticed is the "ramped squares" within surrounding black and white. Interesting, at least to me. You can see how gradually fainter white squares, and how gradually darker black squares are still barely discernible when surrounded by pure black and white.
